Farm
Liberty Acres Farm
Also known as: Liberty Acres
A small, sustainable, diversified Pocono Mountains farm raising chickens, pigs, turkeys, and lamb using rotational grazing methods explicitly modeled after Joel Salatin's Polyface Farm in Virginia. The Polyface model — rotational grazing through tightly-managed paddock systems, multi-species symbiosis (the cattle-chicken-pig sequence), and direct-to-consumer sales — adapted for Pocono conditions. One of the bioregion's clearest demonstrations that the model travels: the practices Polyface developed in Virginia's milder climate work on Pocono Plateau ground.

What they raise
- Chickens — pasture-raised broilers and layers in mobile housing
- Pigs — pastured pork in rotational paddock systems
- Turkeys — seasonal pasture-raised
- Lamb — grass-fed lamb in the rotational mosaic
Why it matters
Polyface Farm in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley is the most-cited model in regenerative livestock agriculture in the U.S. — Joel Salatin’s documented practices have influenced thousands of farmers globally. But Polyface operates in a milder, longer-season climate than the Pocono Plateau. Whether the model travels north is a real question — the rotational schedule, paddock infrastructure, and cold-weather animal-welfare logistics all change when the growing season shrinks.
Liberty Acres demonstrates the answer is yes, with adaptation. The farm operates the multi-species rotational sequence on Pocono ground, which is meaningful evidence that the bioregion can support high-density pasture livestock when the operator commits to the management intensity the model requires.
